PACIFICEXPRESS ROBBERY
$4,000 Said TO be the Amount OF
Swag.


Sunday morning there was good
deal of excitement on the streets crea-
ted by the report that the express and
mail on the Texas & Pacific railroad
had been robbed, near Gordon at !
o'clock that morning. The account rs
told by those who were eye witnesses
to the affair ought to be correct, but
there is difference in the statements.
however, it is a fact that two masked
men got into the cab at Gordon, and
presented their revolvers at the cngi-
neer and commanded him to ''pull out"
which order the engineer promptly
obeyed. They ran the train ab ut a
mile from Gordon. and as they neared
the approach of pile of rocks placed
upon the track, commanded the ell
ginecr to stop the train, which he did
The train stopped on a bridge with
high treste- work, which prevented
any communication from thu passeL-
ger coaches to the mail and express
cars. They had chosen an admirable
place for their work, and had carried
their plan into perfect execution. As
the train slowed up six men ap-
preached and ut once proceeded to
the express car. They took the engineer
with them and compelled him to
knock upon the express car door with
hammer, calling upon Mr.. Losky, the
messenger, to open the door or he
would be killed. Losky delayed as
long as possible, secreting all the
money he could. The robbers
becoming impatient at this delay,
fired shot through thu door, which
barely missed Mr.. Loskey's head, after
whic. tha gentleman opened the door
with alacrity. While this was going
ON Sheriff Henry Lewis, OF this
county, who was on the train with
the prisoner Brazier, called for volun-
teers. There were four negro soldiers

They went to the platform Chey
could go no further) and Sheriff Lewis
fired shot or two, when the engineer
called to him not to fire any more
tnat he could do no good aid might
kill friend. The robbers returned
Mr.. Lewis fire; the negro soldier SUNK
back to his companions after the rob
bcrs opened fire. The sheriff wa'
helpless. The situation was trying
one TO him, but he could do no more
than he had done. The robbers ell
tered the car and the amount they go
is estimated at from So o. to $4,000
After they secured the Dooty, thre,
men went nto the U. S. Mail car. Mr.
II. NJ. Price and Richard Griffin wer,
IN charge OF the mail, aud w. 5. Tip.
